/*The DataFlex Football Pool is Back - play along!*/
June 12, 2025
Get ready to kick off the summer with one of our favorites: the DataFlex Football Pool is making its return for the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025. Registration is officially open!
What began 25 years ago as a simple demo has grown into a beloved tradition for the DataFlex community. Part competition, part tech showcase, and fully built in DataFlex, the Pool has evolved with every generation of our platform.
And this year marks two exciting firsts: it’s the first time we’re running the Pool during a women’s tournament, and it’s the first full-scale test of the brand-new Football Pool, built entirely in DataFlex 2025.
Built in DataFlex. Powered by you.
Behind the scenes, the DataFlex Football Pool has had quite the journey. From its Euro 2000 origins in DataFlex 6 to today’s sleek, modern version powered by DataFlex 2025, it’s been a developer playground and a live demo of what’s possible with our technology.
Curious how it all started – and how much has changed along the way? Vincent has been closely involved since the very beginning, and he shares the full story in his latest blog.
What’s new this year?
You may not see all the changes on the surface, but under the hood a lot has changed and DataFlex 2025 features are integrated:
- Composite Classes for a slick, reusable UI
- cSQLExecutor for lightning-fast database access
- Interactive brackets with cWebDrawing
- Private pool overviews via cWebHtmlList
Join the Pool. Make your picks. Win dinner.
Whether you’re here for the football, the tech, or the friendly competition, we want you in the game. Set up a private pool for your team, make your predictions, and keep an eye on the leaderboard. Oh, and yes, there’s still a dinner for two up for grabs for the top 3 in the general pool ranking.
